I just want to start off with a thanks to all the highly experienced members of this forum,, the knowledge i have gained has been fantastic. However I have an issue at this time that I am unable to solve.
Initially I did the upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04 after ignoring the pop ups for the first few weeks. The upgrade failed and at first I thought it was a failed disk. I removed the raid config, tested the disks with the seagate tool and did not find a single error. I performed a write to 0 on both disks, tested them again and everything came back clean.
I once again configured for raid 1 and did a clean install of 11.04. The install went fine, at the end the install requested the final reboot and locked up at this point. I forced a reboot of the system, after updating the VBI info via the MB the system just hangs, this is normally where it would boot to CD or other device.
I ran through the install process again and ubuntu was able to see the 11.04 install but would not boot to it. I have noted the boot script info below as requested in a number of other posts where users are having similar issues. The live CD boot runs without issue.
Not sure if it helps but here is my hardware info
